Updates on the A646 Hebden Bridge and Todmorden road closure in February 2026

Update: 13.30pm 13 February

Our colleagues will be completing a repair to the carriageway on the A646 between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, after damage occurred as a result of a leak on the clean water network.

The road is currently closed between the junction with Stoodley Glen and the lay-by outside the property known as Rivendell. This is for the safety of residents, road users, and colleagues who will be working on site.

The signed diversion route will be via the A6033 through Littleborough, Blackstone Edge, Cragg Road, and into Mytholmroyd.

We are working with Calderdale Council to provide a daily shuttle service between Todmorden and the closure point, running between 7am and 7pm. The service is operated by Elite Minibuses. Pedestrian access is maintained.

With effect from tomorrow morning (Saturday 14 February) a second shuttle bus will operate from the Hebden Bridge side of the Knowle End Farm closure point daily from 9am until 5pm.

We understand just how disruptive this closure has been and will continue to be and would like to apologise for this. This comes just over a year after a previous road closure due to a sewer collapse, so we understand that there may be some additional frustration from those living and working in the area and would like to assure everyone that it is an absolute priority for us to complete this work quickly, so that we can return things to normal for everyone.

Our partners are now on site and having contacted the households most closely impacted to agree working hours, we are aiming to carry on working throughout the weekend and into evening to complete this as quickly as we can. The estimated date for reopening is Saturday 21 February, though this can be impacted by multiple factors, including the weather and ground conditions, and may move.

We’ll do everything we can to meet this reopening date, but if we do find that our progress is not on track, we will provide those updates as soon as possible. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
